The application is designed to enhance the scheduling process for both managers and employees, facilitating better communication and organization within the workplace. For managers, the application offers a comprehensive set of features that allow them to efficiently manage employee schedules. They can easily access historical, current, or future schedules, whether they are published or unpublished, providing a complete overview of staffing needs and availability.
In addition to viewing schedules, managers can take action on employee requests, including approving or denying availability, time off, and shift offers. This functionality ensures that managers can maintain control over their team's schedule while also being responsive to the needs of their employees. Moreover, managers have access to all employees’ schedules and contact information, allowing for quick and effective communication when it is needed most.
On the employee side, the application offers a suite of features designed to enhance employee autonomy and promote flexibility in scheduling. Employees can view their work schedules at any time and from anywhere, which is especially useful for those who are often on the go. They have the ability to request availability and make requests for time off, whether it's for a partial day or an entire day. The application also allows employees to track the status of their requests, providing clarity throughout the process.
Furthermore, the application enables employees to engage with their coworkers by offering or swapping shifts. This feature promotes teamwork and can help fill shifts more efficiently based on individual preferences. Additionally, employees can view their coworkers’ contact information, although this is contingent upon the coworkers’ preferences for sharing such information. This aspect of the application enhances connectivity among team members while maintaining their privacy choices.
